Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Anal sphincter insufficiency

    Frequency of anal sphincter insufficiency according to the Wexner scale incontinence after the surgical intervention. Self reported daily meausure outcome, wich evaluate from 0 - to 20 points (where 0 points = full feacal continence; 20 points = full feacal incontinence).

    Up to 60 days

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • 2-item pain intensity (P2)

    On day 7, 30 and 60

  • Non-Healing Wound

    On day 60

  • Profilometry /sphincterometry findings

    On day 30 and 60

  • Temporary disability

    Up to 60 days

  • Relap

    Up to 60 days

Study Arms (2)

Xeomin

EXPERIMENTAL

Complex treatment of chronic anal fissure with drug-induced relaxation of the internal sphincter with Botulinum Toxin Type A. (IncobotulinumtoxinA 50 U Intramuscular Powder for Solution).

Drug: IncobotulinumtoxinA 50 U Intramuscular Powder for Solution

Xeomin control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Complex treatment of chronic anal fissure with lateral subcutaneous sphincterotomy.

Procedure: Lateral subcutaneous sphincterotomy.

Interventions

Sparing surgical removal of fissure without internal sphincter incision is held under spinal anesthesia in surgical room at lithotomy position using electrocoagulation. After that Botulinum Toxin Type A is injected into the internal anal sphincter at 1, 5, 7 and 11 o'clock (localization of injection points), 10 U at each point (40 U in total). Botulinum toxin type A (a 50 U vial) is diluted with 1.0 ml of 0.9% saline solution.

Also known as: Xeomin
Xeomin

The patient is positioned on the table like for perineal lithotomy. After spinal anesthesia, the anal canal and then the surgical field are treated with 70% ethanol. Under the rectal speculum control, sparing surgical removal of fissure without internal sphincter incision is held using electrocoagulation.Then, in a 3 or 9 o'clock position, a narrow (eye) scalpel is inserted into the intersphincteric groove separating the external and internal sphincters, the scalpel blade is turned to the rectal lumen, and the internal sphincter is dissected up to the wall of the anal canal mucosa under the control of the finger inserted into the anal canal. After controlling hemostasis, the operation is ended with the introduction of the vent tube and hemostatic sponge.

Xeomin control
